Lead, Engineering

MongoDB is seeking an Engineering Manager to join the Atlas Organization. The organization is responsible for building MongoDB Atlas, our database-as-a-service offering and fastest growing product. 

Atlas allows users to deploy fault-tolerant, secure, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in just minutes. This includes developing software to interface with the three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP) in order to bring security, durability, availability, and performance to all deployments of MongoDB.

The Atlas Data Federation & Archiving team is an engineering team responsible for the Atlas capabilities that allow customers to move data from hot to cold storage and run federated queries over that data. The team builds Atlas Data Federation, a distributed query engine that lets users query data across Atlas Clusters and cloud object storage through a unified service. The team also builds Atlas Online Archive which allows customers to move data from Atlas Clusters into fully managed cloud object storage while preserving a seamless query experience across hot and cold datasets.

We are forming a new Atlas Data Federation & Archiving team in the Dublin area. The Engineering Manager who fills this position will be pivotal in growing that team. We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin and would like a hybrid or in-office working model.
